Make sure you have all of the necessary vaccinations before you go. Your travel agent will be able to tell you which ones are recommended by a travel doctor.

Money can be difficult to access in some countries such as Cuba, be sure to have a small amount of cash on you before you depart just to be safe.

The local cuisine in South and Central America is quite different to what we experience here in Australia. We recommend trying some Ceviche in Peru and some chilaquiles for breakfast in Mexico.
